Redknapp slams Pavlyuchenko
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has criticised Roman Pavlyuchenko for storming down the tunnel against Manchester City.[LNB] The Russia international striker reacted badly to being substituted 15 minutes from time after making a mess of a simple finish.[LNB]Unhappy with the manager's decision, he stormed toward the dressing room instead of joining his team-mates on the bench.[LNB]Redknapp admitted his disappointment in Pavlyuchenko's reaction, saying the 27-year-old let the players and the fans down by storming off.[LNB]Disrespectful"I don't like that," said the Spurs boss who applauded sarcastically when Pavlyuchenko made his darting exit. "It's not something I like. You're looking to scrap away.[LNB]"The fans are here and paying their money to watch and I think when a player runs down the tunnel without sitting down and watching and getting behind the team, I think that is disrespectful to his team-mates."[LNB]The striker's future looks far from certain at Spurs after an inconsistent first season at White Hart Lane.[LNB]Redknapp admits that some players will be leaving in the summer, with David Bentley amongst those who could depart.[LNB]"David is going to be a player looking at it and thinking 'hang on a minute, I'm not getting in the team even when Aaron Lennon is not fit. Maybe it is time I moved on'", Redknapp said.[LNB]"As a person I like him very much, he's a good lad and a good player. I've played differently and changed the way we've played a bit. I've had results so no-one can complain."[LNB]
